This paper argues that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility’s (IIRIRA) detention mandate, special interest groups, and major federal policies have come together to fuel the expansion of immigrant detention to unprecedented levels. It discusses the implications of the growth in immigrant detention for human rights, legislative representation, and democracy in the United States. This study analyzes two main questions: What is the role of special interests in the criminalization of immigrants? Does the rapid increase in detention pose challenges or risks to democracy? The paper uses a unique dataset to reveal that major restrictive federal immigration policies such as IIRIRA and the increasing federal immigration enforcement budget have had a significant impact on immigrant detention rates. Based on these findings, the paper recommends: 1) increased transparency and accountability in data management from the Department of Homeland Security and on lobbying expenditures from for-profit detention corporations, 2) the repeal of mandatory detention laws, and 3) the repeal of the Congressional detention bed mandate.

As the conclusion of a lengthy discussion on migration, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops decided Monday to draft a statement from their president expressing the need for humane and just immigration reform.

The Sanctuary Movement conceived during the 1980s, when churches took in refugees from Central America fleeing American-funded civil wars, has been rebirthed this year. More than 100 congregations are supporting moral action to help our undocumented brothers and sisters in need. Here’s what you need to know about the movement:

Bishop Joe S. Vasquez, chair of the migration committee of the USCCB, wrote a statement urging the Trump administration and members of the U.S. Congress to "ensure permanent protection" for the estimated 750,000 youth in the DACA program, also known as DREAMERS, who otherwise risk deportation.

"Solidarity is, therefore, the acceptance of our social nature and the affirmation of the bonds we share with all our brothers and sisters. Solidarity creates an environment in which mutual service is encouraged. It also the social conditions in which human rights can be respected and nurtured. The ability to recognize and accept the whole range of corresponding duties and obligations that are embedded in our social nature can occur only in an atmosphere enlivened by solidarity."

"And so, in this moment when we are called to sacred resistance we have to start with accepting that there is a new Pharaoh, we are beyond the time of mourning; we must not be overwhelmed; and we must remember that in the moment of confrontation God is with us, we are in fact coming to God."

By Joerg Rieger, Distinguished Professor of Theology and Cal Turner Chancellor’s Chair in Wesleyan Studies, Vanderbilt University In our recent book, Unified We Are A Force: How Faith and Labor Can Overcome America’s Inequalities), Rosemarie Henkel-Rieger and I are proposing that the time is right to move beyond charity and advocacy. Our work on labor and religion is the basis for the argument. While charitable giving is widely appreciated, it is neither...

During the last six years, sanctuary for refugees has become institutionally established in the United States. It is institutionally established in the sense that there is no question that faith communities will continue to provide sanctuary whenever refugees need protection from government officials, that many of these communities consider sanctuary to be an essential part of what it means for the church to be the church, and that the government's use of its police powers to prevent the practice of sanctuary will, instead, stimulate its growth.

Since President Donald Trump's election, monthly lectures on social justice at the 600-seat Gothic chapel of New York's Union Theological Seminary have been filled to capacity with crowds three times what they usually draw.

Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto said Catholic churches are ready to respond and possibly provide refuge for undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation. He said most of the Sacramento region’s estimated 60,000 undocumented immigrants are Catholics.

In some so-called “sanctuary cities,” officials refuse to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation. Because jails are typically run by counties, rather than cities, county policies can matter more to immigrants.
